- 此次投票是民主党主导的战争权力法案提案又一次失败
- 继委内瑞拉和伊朗之后，特朗普称“古巴将是下一个目标”
- 共和党人称针对古巴的投票为时过早
华盛顿，4月28日（路透社）——由共和党掌控的美国参议院周二否决了一项民主党主导的决议，该决议原本将禁止唐纳德·特朗普总统在未经国会批准的情况下对古巴采取军事行动。
参议院以51票赞成、47票反对的结果通过了一项程序性动议，否决了这项战争权力决议，投票几乎完全沿党派路线划分，特朗普所在政党的议员辩称美国目前并未与古巴处于敌对行动状态。

佛罗里达州共和党参议员里克·斯科特提出了中止该决议的程序动议，他表示此时进行战争权力投票并不恰当，因为特朗普尚未部署军队。
该提案的主要发起人、弗吉尼亚州民主党参议员蒂姆·凯恩辩称，美国阻止向这个由共产党执政的岛国运送燃料的行为，已经构成军事行动。
“如果有国家对美国做出我们正对古巴做的事情，我们肯定会将其视为战争行为，”凯恩在投票前的参议院演讲中说道。
在特朗普政府任内，美军曾在委内瑞拉近海袭击船只、进入加拉加斯逮捕尼古拉斯·马杜罗总统，且自2月28日起与以色列一道对伊朗开战，所有这些行动均未获得国会授权。

特朗普曾表示“古巴将是下一个目标”。他并未具体说明针对这个岛国的计划，但曾多次声称他认为古巴政府即将倒台。
民主党人曾多次在参众两院试图迫使特朗普为军事行动获取国会授权，但均以失败告终。
共和党人目前在参众两院均仅持有微弱多数席位，他们几乎一致否决了此类决议，指责民主党人试图利用《战争权力法案》削弱特朗普的权力。
尽管美国宪法规定国会而非总统有权宣战，但这一限制不适用于短期军事行动或应对直接威胁的情况。
白宫表示，特朗普的行动符合其作为总司令保护美国的权利与义务。

- Vote is latest failed Democratic-led war powers effort
- Trump, after Venezuela and Iran, has said “Cuba is next”
- Republicans said Cuba vote was premature
WASHINGTON, April 28 (Reuters) – The Republican-led U.S. Senate on Tuesday blocked a Democratic-led resolution that would have barred President Donald Trump from military action against Cuba without congressional approval.
The Senate voted 51 to 47, almost entirely along party lines, on a procedural measure that blocked a war powers resolution, as members of Trump’s party argued that there are no active U.S. hostilities against Cuba.

Republican Senator Rick Scott of Florida, who introduced the point of order that stopped the resolution, said a war powers vote was not appropriate because Trump has not deployed troops.
Democratic Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia, a lead sponsor of the measure, had argued that U.S. efforts to stop fuel shipments to the Communist-ruled island constitute military action.
“If anyone were doing to the United States what we are doing to Cuba, we would definitely regard it as an act of war,” Kaine said in a Senate speech before the vote.
Under Trump, U.S. forces have launched strikes on boats off Venezuela and gone into Caracas to seize President Nicolas Maduro, and, with Israel, waged war on Iran since February 28, all without authorization from Congress.

Trump has said “Cuba is next.” He did not specify what he plans to do with the island nation, but has frequently said he believes its government is on the verge of collapse.
Democrats have failed repeatedly in both the Senate and House of Representatives to force Trump to obtain congressional authorization for military operations.
Trump’s fellow Republicans, who hold slim majorities in both the Senate and House, have almost unanimously voted down such resolutions, accusing Democrats of using the war powers act to try to weaken Trump.
Although the U.S. Constitution says Congress, not the president, can declare war, that restriction does not apply for short-term operations or to counter an immediate threat.
The White House says Trump’s actions are within his rights, and obligation, as commander-in-chief to protect the U.S.
